Teaser Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. The idea is to give everyone a look inside the book you’re reading.

1.) Grab your current read

2.) Open to a random page

3.) Share two teaser sentences from that page

4.) Share the title and author so that other participants know what you’re reading.

“Louisa felt the skirts of her slim black dress swirl around her ankle boots, the pair she’d had for years, the pair she’d worn in Rome in the cathedrals, in Nice, in the parlor of the Paris inn where she’s shared wine with a Polish revolutionary as he described the death of all his friends. The boots were sturdy but the leather was cracked.”

The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O’Connor McNees, page 1.

Can’t wait to start this one today. So, what you are teasing us with this week?

Oh, I definitely had a pair of boots like that once. 🙂 I’m not much for the romanticizing or fictionalizing of famous authors’ lives (unless it’s something as crazy as Jane Austen as a vampire), but I hope you enjoy this!

<a href="Oh, Deryn. She’s one of my favorite characters in all of fiction! You’re going to enjoy this, I promise. 🙂
